Manchester United's self-inflicted issue is letting down £44m man

Andre Onana was good value when speaking to journalists in the mixed zone on the opening day of the season and he came across well again after the Nottingham Forest game.

"I already know the goalkeeper that I am. It took me six months or seven months not to play good, just to feel good," Onana told the Manchester Evening News and two other journalists.

"It was a difficult time for me. Now I'm feeling a bit better. Everything was new, it was difficult for me to feel at home because [of] so many reasons; new country. Now I'm feeling good. I don't want to talk about performance because I know the goalkeeper I am and I have done in much more than what I just did so, for me, the most important thing is to be set, to be happy and I will shine."

He continued: "Everything is behind me, now we have to move on and together a great time will come. We just have to do the right thing and the future will be brilliant for all of us.

"I had a turning point - but not on the pitch. Like I said… more mental. Of course, last season I moved from Amsterdam to Milan but that adaptation was quite easy. But it took me seven, eight months here. It was just time to learn and go game by game. I hope we will end on top."

Onana make a few high-profile mistakes in the first half of the season and he was particularly culpable in the Champions League group stage, despite save a penalty against Copenhagen. The 27-year-old had conceded more goals by December than he did throughout the entirety of last season with Inter Milan (36) and that inevitably tested his confidence.
